Mortality

Weighted innocence upon my mind

I was lying when I thought I’d made a friend

A thought that it happens every time

With this bag of bones I brought to make me cry

I hope you’re as happy as you’re concerned

Turned away the last time,

The last time I’ll try

You recite lines memorised from movie scripts

But forget to pause between sighs every time

Graciously at my every desperate

Attempt to get me by

You smile, my lips shake,

Revealing what’s inside

Hate you? Not while I’m alive

 

This apartment is starving for air

Meant for me to remind me of a time

Cursed by my love to survive

Why are my eyes blessed with sight?

Pretend it’s all the answers

Rest in peace tonight

Lines my pockets with more lies

Destination unknown tonight

You were the weight holding me tight

Under the surface we drown on rushing tides

Above the surface I race to the sky

No parachute, no safety net

I’m unleashed into the air

Pardon my fall

Do not revive
